"It's just a steam engine, no need to make a fuss!"
Li Xuan replied casually, then frowned and said: "If we continue at this speed, it will be already dark when we reach Daheishan City. Can we tie two giant ships to this giant steel ship and let this giant steel ship pull it?
Forward?"
"Pull forward?"
Upon hearing this, Cheng Duanbo and Shi Chen's eyes lit up and they did not bother to explore what a steam engine was.
On the side, Li Xiaogong and Li Yuan were also very interested.
"Is it possible to pull on the mast?"
"There's a big rope on the boat!"
"When you get close to the coast, you can untie the big rope... you can give it a try..."
With that said, Li Xuan ordered Li Baoliang on the side to stop the steel ship at a speed.
After waiting for a quarter of an hour, the five large ships behind caught up.
Then, more than a thousand soldiers were crammed into the two large ships.
They also used more than a dozen large ropes to tie up the two giant ships and the steel ships, lined them up, and headed for Beisha City again.
Although it was towing two large ships, the steel ship was equipped with three huge steam engines, so its speed did not slow down much.
Noon.
Li Xuan and other three giant ships arrived at Beisha City.
After finding the nearest harbor, they anchored and put down the boat. A thousand soldiers, plus 600 personal guards of Li Xuan and others, took the boat to land.
"The Supreme Emperor, His Highness the King of Jin, and the defenders of Bisha City have discovered us!"
As soon as he stepped onto the shore, Cheng Duanbo reported to Li Xuan anxiously.
Indeed, three large ships over twenty feet long were discovered by the defenders of Besha City as soon as they docked.
After seeing more than a thousand soldiers disembarking from the three ships of the Tang Dynasty, Eulji Qiuliang, the prefect of Bisha City, became furious, put on his armor, took two thousand soldiers, and went directly down the mountain.
.
On the beach, Li Xuan, who was walking up, narrowed his eyes and said coldly after hearing Cheng Duanbo's report.
"It doesn't matter, there are only three thousand defenders at most. How many of them can leave the city. If they dare to leave the city all, we will attack Bisha City today!"
"yes!"
Hearing this, Cheng Duanbo was shocked and his courage suddenly rose.
At first, he was subconsciously worried because of the presence of Li Yuan, Li Chengqian and others.
However, he was also a soldier who conquered the world with Cheng Zhijie and fought countless battlefields. Although he was not as brave as Cheng Zhijie, he was not afraid at all if he was arrayed one-on-one and fought face to face with these Goguryeo hozens.
Moreover, there are two generals of Li and Tang, the King of Jin and the King of Hejian, beside him. Why should Bisha City be afraid?
Soon, several people arrived at the flat area above.
As soon as they came up, everyone's expressions froze and they stared quietly at the pile of small mounds in front of them that were four feet high.
Above, neatly, row after row, heads are exposed one by one.
Under the wind and sun, these heads are all clean, and the scars on some heads can be seen clearly, and they are not that eerie.
"His Royal Highness King Jin, is this Jingguan?"
"Goguryeo dog thief!"
In an instant, everyone's faces were filled with anger.
"These signs are enough to prove that these heads are those of the Han family who fought against Goguryeo during the Sui Dynasty!"
The feeling of watching from a distance on a boat and watching it up close are completely different.
After a while, Li Xuan finally recovered and took a deep breath.
"You will bring up all the boxes you are carrying and take these soldiers home today!"
"yes!"
Cheng Duanbo and Shi Chen looked solemn and responded quickly.
In front of this mound of bones, everyone was silent, even that bastard Cheng Chusi had a heavy look on his face.
There were 1,600 soldiers. No need to rush them. One group boarded the ship to carry wooden boxes, and another group pulled weeds by hand in an orderly manner.
Perhaps due to fertilization, the weeds around the mound grew particularly lush and strong.
After pulling out the weeds, the entire mound suddenly grew taller and became a five-foot-tall hill.
Afterwards, a group of soldiers began to slowly clean up the sand in these mounds with their hands, each one carefully, for fear of disturbing these heroic souls.
Perhaps, in these sands, there are their relatives and elders!
Sudden.
Li Xuan, Li Xiaogong and others looked straight ahead with their expressions condensed.
A group of Goguryeo soldiers wearing armor and armor, holding spears and square shields, charged towards Li Xuan and others with great momentum.
Looking at the equipment, it was comparable to the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty carried by Li Xuan and others.
"Who are you, these traitors, and why are you invading our territory of Goguryeo without any reason?"
Knowing that his king was making peace with the Tang Dynasty, Eulji Qiu Liang deliberately did not reveal the identity of Li Xuan and others, and provoked them as thieves.
After all, these Tang soldiers and generals did not carry any banners!
"I am the King of Jin of the Tang Dynasty, you hozen, why don't you quickly salute me?"
At this moment, Li Xuan was holding back his anger and scolded angrily.
At the same time, the surrounding soldiers of the Tang Dynasty stopped their movements and quickly gathered beside Li Xuan and others. They held their armor and drew their swords, staring at Ulji Qiu Liang and others with angry faces.
This made Eulji Qiu Liang full of doubts.
He didn't understand that these people from the Tang Dynasty were invading their territory. How could they act like they were invading the territory of the Tang Dynasty?
However, Eulji Qiu Liang was in a daze, but the deputy general beside him did not. He directly scolded: "You thieves dare to pretend to be Tang Dynasty nobles. You really don't know how to live or die. Now my army has surrounded you. If you don't surrender quickly, be careful."
Throw you into the sea and feed them to the fish!"
This was the strategy they had discussed when they came.
Anyway, no matter what, the identity of the Tang Dynasty people is not recognized.
Moreover, Goguryeo was rich in metal mineral resources, and most of the soldiers were equipped with armors and swords and guns. In terms of weapons and equipment, they were not afraid of these Tang people at all, and their number was even greater than these Tang people.
Therefore, they subconsciously have the intention to keep these Tang people here!
Such a great achievement, even the king will not allow it!
As for the three large ships of the Tang Dynasty, Eulji Qiureang and others did not pay attention at all. In this era, the larger the ship, the slower it traveled. As long as they eliminated the main force of the Tang Dynasty, such a large ship would not be able to escape them at all.
Boat pursuit!
"Zheng Fu, Cheng Chusi, Yuchi Baolin, you and others, take the old man, Gao Ming and others back to the ship. You will come out after I have slaughtered all these bastards!"
Li Xuan didn't pay attention to the gossiping Goguryeo lieutenant, but turned to Zheng Fu, Cheng Chusi and others beside him and said.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Hearing this, Zheng Fu didn't hesitate at all, and directly responded with his hands, and then led Li Yuan, Li Chengqian and others to the boat.
"Master, if I don't leave, I can still fight with these bastards..."
Cheng Chusi didn't want to leave yet.
"Bring me the horse!"
Hearing this, Li Xuan realized something, turned around, and snatched the horse from Cheng Chusi's hand.
At the same time, he also took a steel shield from the hand of a guard on the side.
He glared at Cheng Chusi and said, "Go on the boat to protect the old man honestly. If you don't obey orders, you won't be able to come out in the future!"
Seeing this, Cheng Chusi mumbled, helplessly pulled Li Yuan and ran towards the boat.
When Eulji Akira and others noticed such a big movement, they couldn't help but look anxious and roared angrily.
"Don't try to escape, the thief!"
Saying that, he wanted to move forward to stop him.
"If I don't kill you, can I, the thief, escape?"
Li Xuan shouted, raised his horse, and rushed forward to kill.
"Kill for me!"
Beside him, Li Xiaogong also roared angrily and followed closely behind Li Xuan.
